Millionaire Supports Children’s Shelters for Years, One Day They Team up to Save His Company – Story of the Day

Sometimes a small problem can snowball into a major crisis, which was almost the case for Thomas. Luckily, his community rallied around him and helped save his company from collapse.

Thomas was born in a poor country that had many issues. Thomas’ father, Jacob, was poor, and his city was almost in ruins. One day, Jacob made a plan for Thomas to move to the USA so that he could live a better life. Unfortunately, his father needed to stay behind to care of their family.

Thomas arrived in a new country all alone and had to find a way to find work, polish his English and try to help his family back home. He started as a delivery man and was a very hard worker. Thomas told a manager at one of the companies he delivered to about his story.

The manager replied, “I come from the same background. If you keep grinding, you could be running the show. Trust me, I’ve been there.”

This was unexpected, but Thomas took the advice and worked his way up from delivery man to working in a factory and, finally, running the factory.

Despite his rapid rise to success, he found himself very lonely. Thomas wasn’t much of a social butterfly outside of work. He was more worried about helping underprivileged kids around the city.

Since he was from another country, away from his family, he still felt isolated. Despite this, his community quickly grew to love him, and all his factory workers appreciated all he did for them. The factory still needed to meet targets on time, and due to the state of the economy, any significant slip-ups or delays could spell ruin.

Thomas was actually planning to expand the company and find new clients. To do this, he arranged a meeting with potential partners at his factory so that he could show off the impressive work his team was already doing.

“We have a huge delivery period coming up for the holiday season. We have orders going around the town for printed newspapers, magazines, posters, postcards, and even some larger packages. If we expand the factory, we could start publishing for many more companies,” Thomas bragged.

“This is all very impressive, but have you heard that union workers are going on strike in December? We’ve just heard this morning,” one investor asked.

Thomas was taken aback by the question but gathered himself and answered, “I promise you, we’ll make sure that we get our orders out on time.”
